Scripting examples

The following items are examples of scripting uses:

• URL flipping
• Captioning

URL flipping works well by itself, but other script commands require client-side assistance. The captioning in the second example requires some client-side assistance. For information on how to provide client-side assistance for script commands, see the ScriptCommand Event in the Microsoft Windows Media Software Development Kit at the Microsoft Web site.

Note

• In the preceding example, && is used to indicate the frame in a Web page in which the URL is supposed to appear. For this to work properly, the browser must be able to access the URL. If you include a URL that does not exist, the browser returns an error message.
